How to save the Amazon : a journalist's deadly quest for answers
On 5 June 2022, award-winning journalist Dom Phillips was working on this book, alongside the indigenous expert Bruno Pereira, when they were both shot. They are believed to have been assassinated by one of the criminal networks whose ecological exploitation they were working to expose. As the world becomes more aware of the significance of the Amazon, home to nearly 400 billion trees, working in this vast region has become ever more dangerous for activists and journalists. Fires, land grabs, and the invasion of reserves have all spiked over recent decades, pushing the world's biggest forest ever closer to a point of no return. A group of expert writers took up his partially completed manuscript, committed to his mission of uncovering the truth about deforestation and searching for solutions.

The life and soul (at least, he thought so) at one party last Christmas stuck tiny, round packets of Babybel over his pallid, naked body. He was, he insisted, \"the Baby Cheeses\".

Men's style: Dom Phillips is Mr Cool
The original punks will have nothing to do with it. Vivienne Westwood has gone floral on us; while Clash survivors Mick Jones and Paul Simonon have turned into businessmen. On a recent episode of Later with Jools Holland, the pair sat next to West Coast punk combo Green Day, who looked pretty much like, well, the Clash used to. But then with twentysomething fashion chicks happily gliding around town dressed like Mrs Thatcher, give me California brat-punks any day. n

Men's style: Dom Phillips is Mr Cool
Women love Christmas because they get to buy a new spangly frock and drink mulled wine. For men, the closest we get to party clothes are those aforementioned jumpers and perhaps the odd paper hat. But now that the dust is well and truly settled, we can at least begin to recover from the collective madness of Yuletide.
